APT Main Event (60,000 PHP)

Action was picked up on the T♣ 2♠ J♠ flop, where Florencio Campomanes, in the hijack, checked. Nattawat Soontanont seized the opportunity to fire a bet of 3,200. Campomanes responded with an all-in shove, and Soontanont, at risk, snap-called.

Nattawat Soontanont: Q♠ Q♥

Florencio Campomanes: 2♣ 2♦

Campomanes had flopped a set of deuces, putting him well ahead, while Soontanont could only hope for a miracle to survive.

The dealer burned and turned the 3♣ , followed by the 6♦ on the river—no help for Soontanont. His deep run came to an abrupt end as he gathered his belongings and exited, while Campomanes raked in the pot, boosting his stack as Day 2 approached.
